''In most countries, when people see a same-sex couple they assume they're gay and when they see an opposite-sex couple they assume they're straight. In Codifin, when we see a same-sex couple we think that they're acting on their same-sex attraction and when we see an opposite-sex couple we think that they're acting on their opposite-sex attraction. And the reason is that everyone is assumed to be bisexual, until stating otherwise.''

That is completely fine, you may certainly have parties favoring such things. Allowing individuals the freedom to believe such things is what this organization is about. You are accepted.

OOC; How did you decide to create another leftist organisation? You don't like the new LUNA?

OOC: I have grown disastisfied with the current state of LUNA. The presence of dictatorships and single-party states as well as the fact that often times it only protests when socialists are persecuted against, but is fine if others are. If modifications are made to LUNA, I will join again. In the meantime, I decided it may be appropriate to create an organization dedicated not just to the support of other leftists, but also to the protection of all belief systems, even ones we are opposed to.IC: Accepted

Excellent, are there any topics you would like to discuss during the meeting. Certainly the supression of democracy in many nations such as Hippostania will be an issue right now, and as it was listed before, a discussion about our relation with other organizations such as LUNA might also be appropriate.

Best keep Hippo at the back of the discussion, or in the beginning, it depends, we have a lot to say about them.......a lot.

"We of Crystal Spires agree with the assessment by the United Socialist States of Whairtia and we believe that Soviet Canuckistan is not a good candidate for this organization. We say this knowing their affiliation with MAAPS and their inability to justify their blatant speciesism when confronted by it during the meetings with the Union of Freedom and Equality. We suspect egregious shenanigans from them in the future, and 'tis a matter of safety that they not be accepted. Also we of Crystal Spires would like to inquire about the status of our application and are bewildered by the notice that says we have been accepted, and yet we are not in the member list."
